Atkinson Hyperlegible Font

[ysabetwordsmith]

The Braille Institute is offering a font, Atkinson Hyperlegible, designed for people with impaired vision and free for everyone to use.  Its typography features make it clean and easy to read, with distinctions between commonly confused symbols.  So for instance, "p" has a straight tail while "q" has a curled tail.  Many of the same features appear in dyslexic-friendly fonts, so if you're a fan of those, you might like this one too.

I like this font! I typically find serif fonts easier to read than sans serif and this takes that a bit farther! I am very glad to learn about this!

Yes ...

Most people find serif fonts easier. I find sans-serif or at least minimal fonts easier. The serifs just make more stuff to blur together. But having a few to distinguish otherwise identical or similar letters is helpful.
